Professional Acting Coach for Public Speaking, Audition Prep, Drama Creativity and Confidence

Àpd 60.55 € /h

If you are preparing for a drama school audition or a public speaking event, if you are looking to build your confidence and expression through the development of acting skills or if you are keen to expand your creative writing skills as a playwright, I would love to help you.

I am a professional actress and movement director and I deliver one-to-one drama tuition sessions and full day workshops that are tailored to suit your individual needs. I have worked as an acting teacher and public speaking coach for all age groups (from ages 3 - 80!) for 24 years and it is a great passion and privilege of mine to assist in this way, seeing my students' evolution.

I have both a diploma and a degree in Acting (LAMDA, Associate Acting Diploma/ Rose Bruford, BA Hons Acting) and I have trained with Gecko physical theatre company. As well as performing for decades on stage and on screen, I have also run The Bedlam Bunch Children's Theatre and Entertainment since 2007, through which I have written and directed numerous stage plays as well as interactive, immersive shows for children aged 3 - 9 years. I also founded and ran Outburst Theatre from 2010 - 2019 as a platform to bring communities together in South East London via educational theatre projects. As a solo artist, I have written and produced three one-woman stage shows - "Raw Cake", "Through the Hourglass" and "The Wonky Shonky Show" - all performed in London, UK.

I look forward to working with you and being part of your journey!

Présentation

I'm a professional actress, movement director, choreographer, clown and theatre-maker with a huge passion for teaching! Throughout my performing career, which has been rich with a very varied mix of theatre and film roles as well as writing and producing numerous stage comedies for children with my children's theatre company, The Bedlam Bunch, and three one-woman plays, I have always taught others my craft because it fulfils me enormously to see others develop through the magic of drama and performance.

I started life as a dancer and, after emerging from my professional acting training at Rose Bruford, found that I fitted naturally into the realm of physical theatre. Over the years, I took on various movement directing jobs for theatre companies and became a movement coach for students at drama schools, such as Identity Drama School, London. My teaching work has led me to work with children of all ages and adults, too, including well-known public speakers.

I live in Cranleigh where I am currently movement directing for an open-air theatre production of Wind in the Willows.

BA Hons degree in Acting (Rose Bruford College, UK), Associate Acting Diploma (LAMDA, UK). School education (A-Levels and GCSEs) all in the UK. Further training with Gecko Theatre, UK.

For all levels, for both children and adults, and diploma preparation.
All aspects of the language would be targeted during the lessons, emphasizing those desired by the student (ex: conversational, grammar)

Depending on the level and the method of study will be adapted to each student, with outside-of-class follow up. The classes will be conducted in either English, French, or both, once again depending on the needs and the level of the student.
Classes focused on the reinforcement of the language can also be organised, focused on specific topics that the student is interested in, which will allow the student not to lose the language and to develop further their knowledge of lexicon in the specific area.

In what concerns diploma preparation, the lessons will focus on the particularities of the tests (timing, response format, lexicon, etc).

Hi! I am a native Spanish student spending his last year of a dual BA in London. As a lover of my language with acquired experience on the field of teaching, I would love to be your new Spanish tutor!

From beginners until fluent speakers, I am glad to share my mother tongue with you. In my course, you will find personalised content depending on who you are. In fact, I always do my best to adapt the lessons to my students' own hobbies and interests. My objective is to make Spanish a complement of your their life, not something "different" or distant. I want you to see this language as an ally that will open you a universe of professional, social and cultural possibilities during your life. Even if I come from Spain, I will gladly focus in any of the Spanish speaking cultures that may interest you the most, if this is what you wish. As a matter of fact, I did a two years degree in Latin American studies. Thus, I acquired a deep knowledge on every country between Mexico and Chile!

I search for students who are motivated by the language and believe that learning Spanish can be a great experience for their lives. Don't worry about the starting point, what matters is the distance that can be made from it.

Hasta pronto! See you soon!

STRUCTURE OF THE LESSONS:

I build my lessons through a communicative approach maximising the use of the target language.
My lessons are usually task-based and centred around practical functions.
During each lesson, we will always work on four different skills such as speaking, listening, reading and writing, using a great variety of teaching materials reflecting real-life situations.

MY COURSES WILL AIM AT:

– Improving your listening and conversation skills
– Explaining grammar rules
– Introducing new vocabulary using specific learning methods
– Enhancing your writing, speaking and listening skills

LANGUAGE:

I have learnt English, Spanish and I am currently learning Italian and Russian, so I perfectly understand how it feels to learn a new language and the difficulties that one can come across, especially when that language isn't using the same alphabet as your mother tongue.

EXPERIENCE:

I have taught French to people from Europe, Commonwealth, Russia, Colombia, Iran, Sri Lanka, Maldives, South Africa, Syria, Lebanon, Algeria, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, and China, and among them, some were students, teachers, analysts, brokers, nurses, doctors, lawyers, singers, business owners, writers, actors, ambassadors, personal trainers, interior designers, architects, TV and movie producers...

I am looking forward to hearing from you :)

Acting is a variety of opportunities: it's playful, as an actor you can work in different fields, theatre, film, voice-over and radio.
I can help you to grow and be confident to get into the acting school or into work. Furthermore, I can teach you how to be able to work independently on a role.
With children I love to jump into improvisations and see and guide where it goes to create something magnificent.
If you need more confidence in public speaking I am all ears and will help you to gain the confidence.
Moreover, we can work on Radio podcasts as I have over 10 years experience in directing, producing and hosting podcasts.
What ever it is you want to work on, or refresh your knowledge I'll pick you up where you stand.

In this class you'll learn how to move on stage, how to be confident with public speaking, how to use your creativity and your imagination to embody different characters. I've designed this class for it to mix necessary theatre technical skills such as placement, voices etc with fun acting activities ranging from improvisation to classical plays.It can also be adapted to any ages or level of acting. If the class is on webcam, I will design the class for it to be inventive and create a theme for each of the meetings.

Get involved in the world of writing and storytelling!
Release the images of your mind and let them take you on a wonderful adventure guided by your fantasy! These lessons will help you to become more confident and open about your own creativity and where that comes from.

I have recently published a collection of poems, ‘Sarga Tuzmadar’, through an independent publisher. This involved me in the editorial and creative aspects of publishing equally.
I am a writer for the theatre column of a Hungarian literary magazine, Nincs, where I publish articles and interviews on a regular basis both in English and Hungarian.

As a native French speaker living in such a cosmopolitan and diverse city as London, I believe that a lot of people would like to learn French.
we would evaluate your level with a simple conversation to get to know each other and see if we’re compatible as a student/teacher, and start planning a timeline for your objectives.
Then I will adapt the class depending on your level, your expectations.
It could be either conversations to practice speaking, more school-oriented classes, more work-oriented ones...

I specialise in tutoring French and/or English for school just as well for higher education levels or different age groups. As a native speaker in both languages and as a linguaphile who took interest in learning other languages such as Spanish and Arabic, I am aware of the struggles that might come with attempting to learn a new language. For my students, I would start off by evaluating where they are at in terms of their level of speaking just as well as writing, in order to know what to work on and what they've already mastered. I would provide homework, just as well as challenges to place them in real life situations where they would have to use their skills and knowledge. In addition to this, providing a feedback on what they've accomplished, what needs further improvement and work.
